1 Introduction
1.1 PCDH Context
The Plant Control Design Handbook (PCDH) [RD1] defines methodology, standards,
specifications and interfaces applicable to ITER Plant Systems Instrumentation & Control
(I&C) system life cycle. I&C standards are essential for ITER to:
• Integrate all plant systems into one integrated control system.
• Maintain all plant systems after delivery acceptance.
• Contain cost by economy of scale.
PCDH comprises a core document which presents the plant system I&C life cycle and recaps
the main rules to be applied to the plant system I&Cs for conventional controls, interlocks and
safety controls. Some I&C topics will be explained in greater detail in dedicated documents
associated with PCDH as presented in Figure 1. This document is one of them.
Figure 1: PCDH documents structure
1.2 Scope
This is a stable list of abbreviations and acronyms being used by the CODAC team in various
documents and in daily work. The online copy, [RD2], maintained on the CODAC Team web
site, provides more details, including information about provenance and obsolescence, and may
be more up to date.
This document lists 677 acronyms. Another source of acronyms useful to consult is the projectwide list, [RD3].
